When terms that are fair to the United States, its businesses, its workers, its people, its taxpayers. As someone who cares deeply about the environment, which I do, I cannot, in good conscience, support a deal that punishes the United States, which is what it does. The World's leader in environmental protection while imposing no meaningful obligations on the World's leading polluters. This agreement is less about the climate. And more about other countries gaining a financial advantage over the United States. The rest of the world applauded when we signed the Paris Agreement. [ BLANK_AUDIO ] They went wild. They were so happy. I'm willing to immediately work with Democratic leaders To either negotiate a way back into Paris under the terms that ar fair to the United States and it's workers or to negotiate a new deal so if the obstruction is wanna to get us together with me let's make non obstructionist. We will all sit down and we will get back into the deal, and we'll make it good. We won't be closing up our factories and we won't be losing our jobs. We don't want other leaders and other countries laughing at us anymore, and they won't be. They won't be. I was elected to represent. The citizens of Pittsburgh, not Paris. Foreign leaders in Europe, Asia and across the world, should not have more to say, with respect to the U. S. economy, than our own citizens and their elected representatives. Thus, our withdraw from the agreement represents a reassertion of Americas sovereignty. [ APPLAUSE ] Our Constitution is unique among all nations of the world. And it is my highest obligation And greatest honor to protect it, and I will. It is time to put Youngstown, Ohio, Detroit, Michigan and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania along with many, many other locations within our great country. Before Paris France, it is time to make America great again. Thank you. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"President Trump's Remarks Announcing Withdrawal From Paris Climate Agreement","description":"President Donald Trump announced on Thursday plans for the U.S. to withdraw from the Paris Agreement on climate change, fulfilling a major campaign promise while hampering international efforts to slow global warming.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/HAjA0Ju8/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2017-06-01T20:03:03.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/HAjA0Ju8.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/video/HAjA0Ju8/","duration":"PT3M14S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/video/HAjA0Ju8/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}} ```
